The Descent plugin for Eclipse provides an IDE for writing, launching
and debugging code in D.
Explanations on how to get it from within Eclipse are here:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent
Don't forget to run eclipse with "-clean" so that the new version of the
plugin appears in the update dialog.
This is a maintenance release that improves overall memory and speed
performance. There is also some new funcionality:
- Some suggestions made in the newsgroup related to the formatter were
implemented (like unindenting group-modifiers) and also some bugs were
fixed. Again, thanks go to Robert Fraser.
- Now special tokens (like __FILE__) are highlighted in the editor
(italic and light grey by default, but this of course can be configured).
Any suggestion, critic or bug report is welcome. You can use:
- the forums: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=107

Ary, Eclipse just wouldn't update Descent for me. I ran Eclipse with -clean, I
uninstalled Descent, deleted the jars, uninstalled it again, disabled it, and
was about to just wipe Eclipse altogether, when I found the "features"
directory
and delete what was left from Descent there. Then, I could make a fresh install
of Descent. Would it be too much to ask you guys to make it possible to update
like any other Eclipse plugin, without having to do anything special?

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know you could do that in an easier way
than uninstalling and installing. I've just read:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Update/keeping-up-to-date.html
There's a new maintenance version, just a bug fix (ticket #22) and some
little performance improvments, 0.4.2. To get it you have to use the old
way. It happens that in previous plugins the feature.xml didn't include
the URL of the update site, so it didn't know where to check for
updates. From now on (>= 0.4.2), the feature.xml will include this
information, and will allow simplifying the update process.
I'll also update the wiki to tell how to update easier if you already
have Descent installed.
Regards,
Ary
